NOTE.
This Book contains several Tales upon which the Author subsequently founded plays, which achieved more or less success. "Foggerty's Fairy" is the groundwork of a play of that name, which was produced six years since at the Criterion Theatre. "An Elixir of Love" is the basis of "The Sorcerer." "Creatures of Impulse," "The Wicked World," and "Comedy and Tragedy," in their original forms, will also be found in this book. None of the Tales, except "Comedy and Tragedy," were written with a view to subsequent dramatization.
